Thunderobot launches new affordable config of AMD-powered MIX NUC mini PC

Thunderobot has introduced a new configuration of the MIX NUC mini PC. This brand-new addition offers the sleek mini PC with the Ryzen 7 H 255, which is basically a rebrand of the Ryzen 7 8745HS.

Of course, it's worth noting that the Ryzen 7 H 255 was initially introduced in China, but mini PC manufacturers have already brought systems with it to the global market. The Beelink SER9 Pro is one of them, and per our tests, this Hawk Point processor delivers identical performance to the Ryzen 7 8845HS, and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is around 35% faster.

Speaking of which, besides the processor, the rest of the aspects of the Thunderobot MIX NUC are identical to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 version of the mini PC. That includes the port configuration, which is as follows:

• 1x 10 Gbps USB Type-C
• 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• 1x HDMI 2.0
• 4x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
• 1x 3.5 mm audio

The AMD processor of this new variant can be paired with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and 1 TB of NVMe storage (2 TB Samsung 990 Evo Plus curr. $159.99 on Amazon). Thunderobot also highlights the cooling setup of the mini PC, which promises to keep the system cool during extreme loads. Other highlights include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 70 W performance mode.

As for the price, the Thunderobot Mix NUC with Ryzen 7 H 255 costs CNY 3,999, about $561. This is more affordable than the AI 9 HX 370 variant, which goes for CNY 6,999, around $983. There's no word about a global release yet, but it's worth noting that the brand is not known to bring most of its products outside the Chinese market.
